We left first thing in the morning and drove the 4 1/2 hours to Sihanoukville, aka: Paradise! Oh those beaches were so heavenly. I considered telling my mom to just bring the kids to come meet us there--I didn't ever want to leave. We did nothing else but play at the beach until dinner time. The next day we got up and did it again, only we went to Otres beach instead. Which was probably even more gorgeous. Before we left for the beaches we went to see the monkeys! There were SO many. And they are really cute, but they get aggressive really quickly. They've had a lot of problems with the bigger ones attacking people that go on the walking trail, etc. So there's a guard that sat there with a sling shot and whenever he felt like they were getting worked up or about to act, he'd just shoot little rocks at them and they'd run away. It sure was memorable for our monkey-loving kids though. Brynlee spent most of her time at the beach collecting seashells--a girl after my own heart. They enjoyed finding crabs, fish, and Kenny even took the boys out to where they watched a starfish and an octopus they saw! Pretty dang cool. We left at lunch time and realized how fried we all were. We got some food and went back to the hotel. Everyone else went swimming in the hotel pool, but I wouldn't let Bryn get back out there because she was so so burned. I took her to get some ice cream in the hotel because she was so upset about not being able to swim with everyone. We went out to eat that night at a restaurant in the golden lion circle. They walked across the busy round-about and went to see the big golden statues. Perfect beach days (minus getting so burned...). ;)
